The next morning we headed south and east, zipping through the lush tropical countryside of Java in two very comfortable air-conditioned minivans. We were headed to Pangandaran, one of Java's few beach resort areas. Although Indonesia is famous for having some superb beaches on various islands, including Bali, there are not many on Java. Pangandaran is one of those few, so it is packed on weekends and Indonesian holidays. We were there on some weekdays, so it was pretty laid back and relaxed, the perfect antidote to the busy cities.
Intrepid, our travel company, proved to be like GAP (g adventures) again by surprising us with some pretty spiff accommodations for budget travelers. The Sunrise Beach Hotel was right on one of the beaches, and the rooms were spacious and very nice. We all had private balconies with very nice upholstered rattan furniture. We settled in and got comfortable, checking out a very nice (and clean) pool, complete with poolside restaurant... ahhh, this was going to be nice.
Further adventures awaited us, and I will try to update you with the details soon.
By the way, I know many of you don't bother with all the photos on my flickr account, but it is way ahead of this blog timeline wise so far. Instructions to access it are in the main headings in my blog.
Salamat datang from Pangandaran, Indonesia.
